    We bought our house two years ago and we had a home warranty on it at the time. When it expired, we were given the option to continue it, so we did. We got an issue on the AC and we got ahold of American Home Shield. They sent the heating and cooling guy out. The fan on was running but the AC wasn't blowing any cold air, and within five minutes, he got it diagnosed and troubleshot. He had a spare part on hand and replaced it, and we were good to go.

    Our AC wasn't working so Weatherwise came out and fixed it the same day. The guy, Greg, did a great job. He was professional and on time. He called to let us know that he was coming on his way but he had to stop for a part. Everything's working fine and we're very happy with the work. It was a good experience.

    I have a rental property and it is an older home. I know that if something breaks down, if I'm renting something, I would want someone to come out and fix it in. Looking on the internet, the reviews and what AHS offers, I went with it. I had a claim on a washing machine. The water kept running. It wouldn't turn off. It just kept pouring in there. The contractor came out and he said something about shortening the pipe. He was very professional. Everything was great. I'm so pleased with American Home Shield to the point where I referred my parents. They have a home and a rental property and we just signed them up with American Home Shield last week.

    When submitting claims, I go online, submit my problem, and tell Home Shield what kind of appliance and what the brand name is. Then, immediately, they assign someone to it. I had an AC issue and J & J was here the next day. The tech checked everything out inside and outside the house and made sure everything was okay. He did great work and I haven't had any problems.

    I tell others about American Home Shield but a lot of people don't want it because they're saying they can save the money and pay for it themselves. People don't like the idea of paying another monthly bill but I think it's worth it. You don't know what's gonna stop working and what the cost is gonna be so it's great to have Home Shield.

    We had Home Shield when we moved into the house. A couple of things went wrong with the heater in the wintertime, and it would’ve cost us a bit of money. So, I decided just to keep Home Shield. I thought it was worth the monthly payment just to cover us. Recently, the AC was blowing air but not cold. I like how easy it was to file a claim and then get it taken care of because it's hot. I didn't have to wait two or three weeks to get somebody out. Everything went pretty smooth.

    The pool pump stopped working and the person from Expert Pools explained that it was a faulty relay that had to be replaced. So, he did that. The technician was a very nice person and respectful. It was a good service. He was very careful with social distancing and all those things. He did a good job and the pool equipment is working. We're new customers of American Home Shield but we're happy because it took just a few minutes to book this through online and then a couple of days for confirmation, the appointment, confirming appointment and then the service.

    Red Hawk Heating & Plumbing came out for a toilet seal that was potentially cracked and then some residue in my hot water heater from some pipes that had been replaced previously. Everything was handled and taken care of quickly. The only thing is that it would be nice if the portal, when I logged in, had all of the most up-to-date information so that I knew exactly what was going on versus doing it via email or phone calls. Overall, it's been a phenomenal experience, something that I wasn't aware of that existed previously. I would highly recommend AHS.

    I had a hot water heater issue and when I got the problem, I went online and told AHS what my problem was. They got right to it and set me up with Springdale plumbing. The techs from there were really quick and did the job. A coil in my heater had burned down and that had to be replaced.

    I'm very pleased with American Home Shield. My AC was leaking inside and I schedule a claim with them. Their tech from Air Command came and took care of my AC problem right away. He was able to discover that the landscapers had covered up the outside drain of my AC when they put new rocks down so water had no place to go. He fixed the issue within 15 minutes. He dug around and unplugged the drain and made sure it was clear. He was polite, efficient and quick. Things have been working great since then.

    Something was going on with the water heater where it almost sounded like the water was either backing up or it wasn't processing through. The gentleman who was here said he really didn't know what to do. He said he put a cut off switch on there. But the cut off switch was already on there. I hadn't been to our new home since I purchased it in March, and this was like my second visit to be there alone after finding out what's going on. Whenever something goes on, they wait until I get home for me to decide what I'm gonna do. But he said he put like a filter purifying faucet, and he said that was the reason that it may have been triggering it.

    He cut off the valve to it, and I put new filters on and everything. I travel, so I'm barely home. I noticed when I was there, after I put the new filters on and then opened it back up, it was really yucky. I let the water run. The water finally kicked in on that faucet, and the noise seemed to have simmered down all the jerking. It's an old house so it’s gonna make some type of noise, but it wasn't making as much noise. I noticed that because I was there for 12 days. So I noticed that it was not making as much noise. The same person came for something under the sink. It exploded. My mom doesn't usually mess with the trash compactor. She didn't run water, she did everything dry, and then turned it on. The pressure popped the pipe. She kept telling me to let my brother come do it, and I said, “No, I'm paying for this. Let's make sure that we didn't mess anything up.”

    That same person came, and he showed her how to take care of that as far as what to do next time she put stuff in the trash compactor. She doesn’t use it anymore because she’s terrified. Overall, he did what he was supposed to do the first time but the second time, he didn't. He shouldn't lie and say he did something when he didn’t. Because if he did put a cut off switch, I would have seen the trimmings. My daughter also said, “He doesn't seem like the same person.”

    He did give us good advice saying, “Yeah, you need to go ahead and change that section.” But he did say this is not what Home Shield does as far as like the water purifier. And there really was no repair. He only explained it. He did troubleshoot like he was supposed to but as far as doing anything, there was nothing. I don't want that guy to come back. Other than that, I also had an AC claim with Home Shield and that was taken care of a month prior to this issue. The AC was low on Freon. The contractor took care of that the same day. They automatically knew what was going on, so they did it. I ended up having to pay extra because it was so much that American Home Shield will pay for.

    I've got the Home Shield warranty and had a water heater that rusted through and it caused it to fail. So, I had a massive amount of water in my basement, and it resulted in the water heater to be replaced. I submitted my claim through the website. It was very easy to use. Also, I was contacted by the John T Cannon Plumbing really quickly about that. They were out within about five hours. They were very good. I would recommend AHS to keep using them. Everything's been functioning perfectly. My experience was outstanding. It was the first major claim that I'd had with American Home Shield but I've used them a couple of other times.

    Home Shield is a good plan. My husband and I use Home Shield and we were pleased with them at our house. However, it depends on the situation. There were a couple of charges that they charged my mother anyway even though they didn't need the service. When the contractor went out, the issue was already fixed. It just resolved itself. My brother went over there and did something, and then it was taken care of. We called Home Shield thinking that we needed them to fix the issue, but then sometimes they're resolved, sometimes not. But it didn't matter. They still charged, which I know they have to.

    The guy from Prime Plumbing Services had to come out three times. The first time he came in, he said he needed to order some parts. That came in very quick and I was impressed. Then, whenever I had to call and reschedule, he came out to fix it up. But something wasn't right when he left. I called him within five minutes and he said he would try to make it back out. He just left so he was probably not far off. The faucet just needed some tightening but he said, "No, after some time." He never got back to me. I had to call the company and rescheduled for him to come back out. The issue was done 95% properly. He said over the phone that the faucet was a little loose. He knew it but he just left it thinking that it would be okay.

    I just started with American Home Shield two months ago so that was my first service call. I submitted the claim online and it was straightforward and good. Getting somebody out needs improvement though. It wasn't as fast as I thought it would be. If I had an emergency situation, I would probably have to call a plumber. If I got something that I can't wait on, I can't wait for them to send somebody after four days. This will work for itty-bitty stuff but not for emergencies.

    Somehow it was put down on my account that I was taking a cash out option. I discussed this with a customer service rep, but never agreed and instructed him to proceed with the repair. Because of this miscommunication within American Home Shield, the ordering of my parts was delayed by two weeks. In the meantime my house DID NOT HAVE ANY AIR CONDITIONING! I tried calling in to customer service nearly every day and each time I was on hold for at least an hour then would get conflicting information. Sometimes they said there was a hold on my account because of the cash out. Other times they said that the parts were already ordered, which was apparently a lie. Many times they would just hang up on me and I'd have to start all over. In any case it was clear they had no idea what was going on and no authority to fix the situation.

    I spent nearly 20 hours on the phone with AHS over two weeks trying to get this resolved. It was so bad at one point I thought this company was basically a scam. Mind you the actual repair company in Las Vegas was great, they helped me with AHS after I called them each day trying to get an update. But even they were very frustrated by AHS's incompetent customer service. I will be getting a different home warranty provider as soon as my policy expires.

    It's been a terrible experience since the pandemic. We had a dishwasher that started leaking and American Home Shield sent a company out to fix it. The first company that they sent out was terrible because the guy did not fix it. Weeks went by and he finally said, "I'm gonna come back and try to fix it, do some other thing." He did and it still leaked. The guy came out twice and he never did fix it. American Home Shield couldn't get ahold of them to ask if they wanted them to just replace it. This kind of went on for a couple of weeks.

    Finally, they said it needed to be replaced but nobody ever did anything so we kept following up, following up, following up. My husband must have talked to these people numerous times. You're on hold for at least an hour and a half to two hours waiting for somebody to come on. The other thing is that we've sent emails. After about three emails, they finally said they were not reading our emails so we could not send them. They were just thrown out. There was no way to get ahold to a live person or even to an email person that would respond to this. It was absolutely awful.

    My husband finally talked to somebody and they said they'd send an email of an offer. They sent us an email for an offer which was stainless steel on the outside, but not stainless steel on the inside. My husband told them that was not what we wanted. We wanted to have the kind of what we already had which was stainless steel all the way through. That took a few more weeks. Every time we talked to somebody, they took all the information down and said, "We understand. We'll call you right back. We'll get someone on this." This went on and on and on and nobody ever got on anything. We talked to somebody and they'd swear that they would be the one that would call us back but we never heard from anybody. It got very frustrating. In the meantime, had no dishwasher. It leaked all over the floor and we couldn't use it. We had to use our own hands. It was very annoying.

    After almost three months, they finally sent someone out with the dishwasher after they re-offered a different model with the stainless steel interior. The guy who installed it and took the old one away was wonderful. We had a KitchenAid and they replaced it finally with a KitchenAid so it was comparable. It's a new model so it's a lot quieter than our other one. We're happy with that but we really do not get good service from them at all. People would say it's a pandemic and they don't have the people returning to work and this and that. We can understand that but it shouldn't take over three months to get something installed. They didn't have the right and enough help and the help that they did have tried their darndest to do something.

    Of course during the hottest time of the year in Las Vegas, when the temperature was 112 degrees, my Air Conditioning goes out. After going to a couple of hardware stores looking for 30A fuses for the A/C unit (which has worked in the past), installing them and then finding out that new fuses aren't working, we decided it was time to call our home warranty service. We were informed that the wait time would be more than an hour so we decided to call back later in the evening when maybe so many people would not be on. We called at 9pm, 11pm, 12 am, and 3am. Still the same wait time or worse. I was on hold for approximately 1.5 hours when the call was suddenly disconnected.?? I decided to get some sleep and to call back again later.

    After 3 calls and a grand total of 2 hours and 35 minutes on hold, I was finally able to speak to a rep. She told me that could get me an appointment in two days. Mind you, this is in 112 degree heat with no A/C. The day of the appointment arrived and the tech showed up as scheduled and worked on the A/C. A very nice man, seemed like he fixed the problem so I even gave him a tip. 15 minutes after he left, the A/C stopped working again. I called the company that AHS contracted the job out to, to let them know that the A/C is not fixed and the tech needs to come back. I was told that I would have to schedule yet another appointment (which meant waiting another day in a house that's 112 degrees).

    I decided to contact AHS to see if there was any way they could get this expedited, since they took my payment and the work that was scheduled and paid for, was not completed! So here we go... another 2 hours and 1 dropped call later, I was basically told that I would have to wait another 2 days for a new appointment, even though the first appointment resulted in the work not being done correctly. I'm 80 years old and living in this kind of heat could mean a death sentence for me. I told the representative "never mind", I would be dropping my service with AHS. I contacted a private A/C repair company, who scheduled me for first thing the next morning.

    I’ve paid American Home Shield my service fee, and the work I paid for was never completed. I would like to get my money back, but I don't want to be on the phone for another 3 or 4 hours trying to do so. I'm currently looking for a new Home Warranty service and I would never recommend this company to anyone, unless you truly enjoy hold music, being disconnected and endless hours spent waiting and hoping someone picks up the phone. Funny, AHS seems to have enough money for lots of expensive commercials. Maybe they should use a few of those dollars to hire more people to answer the phones – there’s a thought.

    I called to see if I could change vendor for my repair due to the fact that the vendor AHS assigned to complete my service has horrible reviews, after an hour plus waiting on the phone I finally got someone and he informed me that I would be able to change vendors and he gave me a vendor list that I was able to choose from and was told to contact AHS. After contacting the vendor and after 1 more hour on hold I told them I had the vendor on their list with much better reviews. At this time the customer service rep told me that I could not change vendors. After a few min of telling me that it was policy I asked to talk to a manager. She took my contact info and was told that a manager was going to call me back in 30 min. It never happened.

    So I called again, waited one more hour and got a very disgusting and rude customer service person. I explained what the issue was and she told me it was policy. I asked, "Can you explain what the policy says," and she said and I quote "I don't have to. You don't pay my Bills." I thought I was talking to someone that would try and help but I was wrong. I will not be a customer any longer. AHS should get better training to these people.

    My dryer stop working the end of June. Contacted AHS for a service request. Service request was processed quickly and a technician was at our home in a few day. We were informed we needed a new motor and it would take probably over a week to get parts and services again. Since it was at least 20 years old we did not want to do that and wanted to take the option of payment instead of repair. Here is where the frustrations begins. AHS was suppose to call to review option the following day and we did not get a call so we called. Bottom line, it took hours and numerous call to talk to someone that could provide us with what the payment ($218) would be instead of repair.

    We agreed to the payment and we were told all we needed to do is email the bill for new dryer and they would process the payment. I purchased the new dryer July 1 and emailed AHS same day. I received a confirmation email stating that I would be receiving a check in 7-10 day. Three weeks later and no check, I started call again to check on status. Again numerous calls and hours later, I reached someone who said I should have the check next week. July 31, still no check I call again. I reached someone fairly quickly but could not provide information on status but offered to reimburse me half of my service fee ($37.50) for my trouble and promised to transfer me to some who could help with my original question. So I get transfer back into the line waiting to speak with a person that could help me.

    Over an hour later, I am frustrated beyond believe. I decide enough is enough, I am just going to cancel my contract when someone picks up. Finally, someone picks up and that person could not cancel my contract. I had to speak to someone else. So I cancelled my contract, I don’t know if I will ever receive reimbursement for the service fee or payment in lieu of service but immediately after cancelling my contract, AHS did send me an email that I owed them $68.99 for an Administration fee for cancelling early.

    I had a clog in the toilet and in a kitchen sink, and Air Pro Master handled it beautifully. They came out and took care of it within a few minutes, and we're still good. One of American Home Shield's contractors is the same company that maintains my pool. I'm really pleased for the fact that I had a couple of issues with the swimming pool equipment and they allowed me to choose that one to service the pool also. I like that a lot.

    Submitting a claim over the phone is torture but doing it online is easy as pie. I would like to be able to talk to somebody on the phone because every once in a while, there's an issue with the online claims as far as getting information. But usually it's so horrible. It's such a long wait to speak to somebody on the phone that I just let it go.

    I had service done for the toilet and the drainage of a shower, and everything was complete. I also put in a work order for my sump pump, and someone came out on July 18th. He had on a mask and everything went well. However, the whole time was ridiculous because they could have been here sooner. The guy was able to come straight in and fix whatever was causing the problem with the sump pump, but someone was also supposed to be coming back and I haven't heard anything else about it.

    Our garbage disposal was leaking underneath the sink. It was very easy to file the claim on the website through AmericanHomeShield.com. It said somebody would contact me within 24 hours to let me know the date and the tech came out the very next day. He told us what he thought the issue was. He went back to get his tools and then came back and replaced it and then described it all over again. He was done within 10 minutes. It was great.

    My recent claim with AHS has something to do with my heating system but not the heater itself. It was leaking water. I submitted the claim over the phone to AHS. The technician went out and was able to fix it. It was a clogged hose, so he was able to unclog the hose. Everything worked out fine. The other claim was about the heating system. The thermostat was not coordinating with the heating system and the contractors fixed it. The reps at AHS have been very friendly and efficient.

    The mixing valve in the faucet in the shower wasn't working. It would either be scalding hot or freezing cold. We couldn't adjust it. When we called American Home Shield, the wait was up to three hours but once I got to talk to somebody, it was okay. When the plumber came out, he described it as something like a ball and it had different pieces with it. American Home Shield only allowed to pay 250 for that, and we had to pay 84. It's still kinda funky, but it's a whole lot better than it was.

    American Home Shield advertises that if the appliance can't be fixed, they'll replace it. When I had an issue with the oven. the appliance guy couldn't find the part so he told AHS that he looked everywhere but it was not available. AHS said that they would look for it. Then after being on hold for like a total of six hours one day last week, I finally got ahold of somebody. They said that they couldn't find the part and they gave me a reference number where they were gonna replace the stove. I never heard anything from them. I started calling again and I was on hold again for six hours all day long. I never got in touch with anybody. My husband and I both got on the phone, and he finally talked to somebody. He told the rep that we had a reference number where the oven can be replaced. Then the rep said that she would have to transfer it to the purchasing department. So, he was on hold for two hours and they never answered.

    We also had an issue with the air return vent on the AC and the air conditioner guy came out. He called back and he said that AHS said that they would approve it. They were supposed to call us back. But we haven't heard from them, so I'm not real pleased with them. But it could be because they were just backed up because it had been so hot. The contractors were awesome. But I'm very dissatisfied with American Home Shield because you can't get anybody on the phone. At one point, you could leave a message and ask them to call you back but they didn't call back.

    I've been with Home Shield since February 2018. I got it when I purchased a house as part of the purchase. And then I had some issues almost when it was up and the contractors come out and handled it very well, so I continued to keep it. I always talked to the techs and they're fine with doing it through them. That's always my concern -- are the people being compensated enough by them? They all seemed fine with it. And I've had several issues, different things, water heater. Home Shield has been good.

    However, I have some doubts about the previous air conditioner contractor. He charged me a ton for Freon. And then eight weeks later, I had to call again. And then A Johnson came out and did the same thing essentially. But he only used a couple of pounds of Freon and I paid for a lot more than two pounds on the prior guy. I'm not even sure that the thing will hold as much Freon as he charged me for. But it seemed like you get the same symptom, and one guy comes out after the first guy and puts in just a couple pounds.

    The first time I paid over $500. Second time, I paid the $75 and then the tech came out. And then, they got a cap on the Freon because the Freon is outrageous. I paid 100 bucks for it. My understanding not being a tech guy is they did the same thing. You would think that Freon charges would be similar but they weren't.

    But I liked the way that the latest one, A Johnson, did things. The tech came out but the AC was frozen up. He came back in a couple of days when it wasn't because I didn't know not to leave it on. It took hours for it to unfreeze. So he had to reschedule it, but he did. And then, he came back and fixed it. He was very calm.

But it’s a Kenmore oven and I don’t know if they even make Kenmores anymore. So, that was really not American Home Shield’s fault. Once the part came in, the contractor came right out. He said that part was supposed to be there around Friday. He asked if it was okay if he came Sunday and he actually came out on Sunday. He fixed it and explained everything to my husband.

    My claim experience with AHS went fine except for the contractors who were supposed to order a part never came back. They marked the job as closed when the cylinder to my faucet was supposed to be replaced because when he took it apart, it was degraded. Even though it worked, it leaks. So we have to wait until it stops leaking in order for us to make sure that it stops dripping water. He said he had the part number to it and that he would order it, but he never came back. The service of AHS is good though. A company I work for is contracted through American Home Shield so I don't have a problem with them. When I submitted the claim online to AHS, it was flawless.

    I did a claim with AHS to have someone come outside and look at my pool. I did it online and their website was pretty good. Then, I got a text message about when the contractor would be out. The guy from Expert Pools who came out was amazing. It was not just the professionalism that was outstanding, it was his knowledge and work ethic that really blew me out of the water. There was a leak and he fixed it. Then my filter wasn't filtering properly and he fixed that, too. He fixed the backbone of the issue in the pool and since the repair, my pool has been working really well. There's no leak and my water bill is not gonna be as high. I don't have to worry about algae and crap in the pool, which was a lot of work.

    Other than that, I had a really bad experience with AHS last year, and I'm going to file a small business claim regarding that. AHS said they don't cover pest damage but the issue with my heater is not pest damage. It's the fact that it's worn out, but the wires and everything are fine. It's just that the combustion chambers inside are rotted away. They said that they found rat droppings, but all heaters are outside so there would be all kinds of crap there. I also got a different opinion from somebody else outside of American Home Shield. But if one of American Home Shield's contractors says it's pest damage, they blackball anybody else who's saying anything different. So, they misdiagnosed it and put me in a spot where I'd have to go out of pocket.

    The problem is when the first guy came out, I didn't know diddly-squat about operating a pool. So when I called AHS back, they said it was more than 30 days or whatever the time period was. But they didn't tell me that. They just said that I couldn't challenge what they said after two months. So, I got their legal information and I just have to find a little bit of time to file my grievance. The pool heater's a $3,500 expense and I'm not pushing AHS to give me one, but they should be able to get the parts and do the things I need to get done. That's why I got home warranty. All in all, I renewed with AHS believing whatever they told me in the past had been correct, until I found out differently. So now, I'm having second thoughts about renewing with them again. But besides that issue, the contractors and everything else had been great.

When the air conditioner wouldn't come on, the contractor came out the very next day so that was wonderful. We had wind blowing, thunder, lightning and rain and my air conditioner went off. But all the contractor had to do was flip the switch and I had to pay the $75 for that visit. They handled the claim well.

It was the outlets in the bathroom, and I reset it. It didn’t work so I called AHS. They sent an electrician out and he walked me through the connection and then he said I just needed a reset. He showed me how it all worked and then showed me the reset and said that I would have to get a tool to help me because I couldn't push it hard enough.

    It was a really hard press and I couldn't have done it. I have arthritis and it was so difficult to push in to the outlet. The electrician pushed the reset and everything worked out.

When it came to what I signed up for, things kind of changed in terms of coverage. I signed up for American Home Shield thinking that if anything went wrong, I would be covered. That wasn't the case.

    I have a GE refrigerator and the freezer wasn't working. So, I called American Home Shield and the earliest appointment was seven days out. I had a window of 8:00 to 12:00, and the GE repairman got here by 11:15. He was here for about an hour and discovered that the fan was not working and he replaced the fan and got everything back together again. So I was really satisfied.

    The only thing that irked me was when I talked to an administrative staff to confirm the appointment. This was for Wednesday, and I called on Tuesday just to confirm, and she said the tech was gonna call me twice, and if I didn't pick up on the second time, he was going to cancel the call. I said that this is Bodega Bay, California, and I happen to be with AT&T, so my phone only works about 75% of the time, and 25%, I don't get called out here or it's a weak signal. I have to sometimes go outside or go onto an upper deck. So, I said that that wouldn't be fair. I would really be upset if he called twice, and because I didn't pick up the phone, he just decided not to come out because I could confirm with her on Tuesday that I'd definitely be here.

    I don't think she really understood where I was coming from, especially since I've been waiting for a whole week to get this thing fixed. Seven days is a long time but I didn't care because it was the freezer. I just bought some dry ice and the freezer was good. But had I lost the refrigerator, that would have been a whole different ball game. A refrigerator is hard to live without. Other than that, the guy showed up and did a great job. He was fantastic. With his service, I was more than pleased. He made it a good experience for me. Everything is working fine. I have been very fortunate with American Home Shield. It's a good company.

    Gibson Air Conditioning and Heating had to come out several times. Gibson came out and worked on it each time. They were very polite and professional, and they came out as quickly as they could. They thought every time they had it fixed the AC, but then it went down again. It was four or five times they came out. I feel like it will break down again, but hopefully not. After they fixed the AC, I left it on when I went out of town because I thought, “You know what? I don't want the house to get too hot. I'll just leave it on.” But when I came home, the house was 99 degrees and things were melted inside the house. The AC didn't stay fixed. I stayed in the house that night. It got down to 96, but Gibson didn't come until the next day.

    The other thing is the last time the AC broke down, it was hot and my son and his wife were here. He decided he would go to Lowe's and buy an air conditioning unit to put in by the room so he could sleep that night. I was on the phone for over two hours waiting for someone to pick up. Finally, after two hours, I was exhausted so I just said I would go to bed. I was shocked. My son went in the store, I said I would just wait in the car in case Home Shield got back on the phone. I was on the phone before we left. I was on the phone when we got back. I was on the phone while he hooked up that air conditioning and finally after two hours, I just gave up. That is not really acceptable. That's not excellent service if you can't even talk to anyone to get any kind of response in two hours.

    Home Shield called me the next day. Somebody called me back with an accent that I could barely understand. I had another one before a long time ago when I first bought the house, but I don't remember them being that difficult to get ahold of. But Gibson was sent out here right away. I didn't mind the service that they gave, but it didn't resolve the thing the first, second or third time. If the AC does not maintain the temperature you put it at, then how is it really working properly? I don't understand. Because the tech said, “Oh, well. You may just be able to get down to 82.” Who wants to stay in their house at 82 degrees? That's not very acceptable either. And then I asked, “Well, if you can't get it to work, what happens? Do they try and get a new air conditioning in here or what?” He said, “Oh, no. I've never seen that happen.” So, I have to keep suffering it breaking down, and then they come out and fix it?

    I'm over 70. It's bad for my health to lay in here at 90 some degrees. But I just sucked it up, and I was in a puddle of water when I woke up in the morning after a couple hours of sleep, but that's it. It's hard out here. We're in hot weather. So, to not have a functioning air conditioning is a problem. Who wants to go to a hotel during COVID? I don't have the disposable income to go get a hotel, besides paying Home Shield $100 for the contractor to come out, and I paid for something else. I gave the contractor another $160. Wow.

    I had a plumbing claim and the technician from Circa Mechanical came right away. He ended up coming back out the following week because he didn't have the garbage disposal. Now, I'm having an issue with the air conditioner. The guy who came out to look at it told me he was gonna order a compressor. I asked AHS if I could get somebody else to come out. Then they sent me a thing the next day saying everything was closed out. Then I got a text message from the company saying my part was gonna be $900.

    When I called American Home Shield, they said it shouldn't cost that much. I'm just gonna pay for the Freon but that's not what happened. They said I could do a cashout, but when they told me how much it was, I called somebody else that I knew could come and look at it, and they told me they couldn't do anything with that amount. So right now, the air condition is not working. I'm satisfied with AHS, I just need to get the air condition taken care of. That's the only problem I got and I don't even know how to go from there.

    I'm not too happy right now with American Home Shield. My washing machine had issues with draining, so I put in a request to have it repaired. That was in June and a technician came out and serviced it. It worked for two weeks, and then it went out again, so I called. They put another call in for it to be repaired. A technician then came out, changed a part, and it worked for a minute, then it didn't work. I called again and the third technician came out. He changed three different things, including the drainage pump as well as the motherboard. There was a time lapse, ‘cause you have to wait for him to come out to determine what's wrong. He also has to order the part, which takes a week, then he has to find time to come out to install the part. Now we're talking almost a month.

    Anyway, he changed all the parts that needed to be changed, but he also stripped one of the bolts in my machine. I know he took the head part loose ‘cause I saw it. Then I called American Home Shield and I told them that I love my machine. We were investing a lot of money in this machine and I didn't want to get another machine if this machine could be fixed. However, I've been almost a month and a half without a washing machine. The guy from American Home Shield told me it was a possibility that they would have to replace it ‘cause it couldn't be repaired, but he said he would see what the other options were. His other option was to send another technician to come out and look at it. I wasn't getting this.

    If it’s breaking on two previous technicians, how is that person gonna fix this? Long story short, the guy came out yesterday from another company and looked at the machine. He asked me if the previous technician took it apart and I said yeah, because he changed something in the motherboard. I saw him getting the head part of it, the digital parts, loose to look at the part that was installed, but he couldn’t get it loose because that screw is now stripped. I asked him, “If you can’t get it loose, then who’s gonna take it loose to look at it to see if the repair was done or if that’s gonna make a difference?" His answer was he didn't know and that another technician was gonna come out. I don’t wanna see five people come into my house, especially during this time.

    Evidently, they are very cautious. We're a distance apart and so forth, but I’m really getting aggravated at this point. Last time, I asked him what his conclusion was. He said he couldn't get it fixed, so his boss is saying maybe they should go and check the wiring on it. I want them to try to fix it, but if they don’t think that it’s fixable, they should just say my machine is broken. They should say that it’s done and they can’t repair it. I’m two months in now without a washing machine. Thank God I have a good girlfriend that I can go and do my laundry (‘cause I don’t wanna go to a laundromat), but that’s aggravating.

    The water heater exploded and flooded the basement. I called in the claim to American Home Shield and I spoke to a representative. She had the gentlemen come on an emergency because there was water everywhere. I've been there 15 years and I had that same water heater. This the first time it ever did that where all the water came out. It was leaking over a period of time but I don't go into that space. And so, when the gentlemen came out to examine the water heater, it needed to be replaced. They put a new one in and set the old one out. Everything is functioning good so far.

    The gentleman who came out were excellent and nice. When I put in a claim before, they were the same guys who came out to fix my toilet. They came on Saturday but with my work schedule, I can’t just take off work when I want to. I had to be there so they came back that Thursday. The experience with American Home Shield was excellent. I’m just wondering why I had to pay $500 and I called to inquire about it. They told me that they had to replace the water heater and those chrome piping. But overall, I was happy. I knew eventually that I was gonna have pay something. I just wish I coulda caught wind of it.

    There were three things wrong with the pool equipment and because of COVID, I was able to go ahead and claim them all at one time. Home Shield sent out a company but I don't think they really looked at the issue. Then, ABNation was sent out for a second opinion and they did a very thorough job. They found the wires that had caught on fire or melted. But whoever reviewed their analysis was not themselves familiar with pool equipment and therefore denied this claim. I had to pay another $100 or so for them to come out and look at what they had already looked at but to just report on the wiring. This time, it was approved. When I called customer service, they told me I couldn't request ABNation to come out again but I went online and I was able to do that.

    I wasn't happy with the administration of the whole thing but I was very happy with the final analysis and repair. Also, I really appreciate Home Shield covering it because it was not anything I could have controlled or maintained to prevent from happening. But I still don't know if I'm gonna stick with Home Shield when it comes up to renew. They've been challenging to work with compared to other recommendations I've gotten from community members on other warranty companies.

GE Appliances called me. I told the tech I was home. He just showed up and that was it. They did a good job. However, whoever replaced the part or fixes it, Home Shield said it was 30 or 90 days. But the next day, even with just five minutes, "Oh, you passed the warranty. You gotta get charged another $100." There's no leeway on it. And that was, "Sorry about that. You went past it." It happened twice to me since I had Home Shield. They need to have some leniency that if it was the same appliance, that means there's something wrong with it, right?

    For example, your car breaks down because of something inside the carburetor. Then they say, "Oh, it's the fuel pump." Something's causing something to go diddle-daddle. So you either replace the engine or get a new car. You don't say, "We'll replace just the hoses this day. Okay, the hoses. The next time we'll do the belts." That's nickel and diming me to death and I don't like being treated like that. Except for that part, Home Shield has been doing me good. If I was in charge, I would run it a bit different.

    I was having issues with an air conditioning unit. Asked for service. They set me up with a contractor. I discovered a trash can to close to the unit and moved it and it solved the problem. On July 3, I tried calling American Home Shield to cancel service but did not have time to wait over an our for a representative so I called contractor directly. My husband noticed the service charge of $125 on our account. On July 7 I tried calling American Home Shield again but it was another 1+ hour wait. My husband called and was spoke with a representative who said they would process the refund.

    On July 14 I spoke with a representative with Lalaine (I believe that was her name). She told me no paperwork for refund was processed and she would take care of it. I received a message from American Home Shield stating paperwork for refund was processed on July 10. It takes 7-14 days for refund. Tuesday July 28 I received another message from Jan that she was reaching out because of my social media interaction. She had reprocessed the paperwork to have initial payment credited back and that not credit showed at this time and she was unable to confirm what was previously done. She is "keeping an eye on account" and will alert me when the transaction is processed. I don't believe this company deserves its reputation.

They said they would get with the appliance company for some kind of adjustment to the form that they filled out.

    My water dispenser on my refrigerator wasn't working and the person came and fixed it. He showed up on Friday and he needed to order the part. He called me on Monday and he had the part, which I was very surprised with. I had a different maintenance company before and my experience with that company was they would send somebody out, they would look at it, order the part and it would take at least two weeks for them to get it and come back and fix it. So I was thinking that I was gonna have to go get ice because with the water dispenser was not working and the ice maker doesn't work. The guy called me on Monday afternoon and asked if it was okay for him to come right then. And he did. He replaced it and it's working great. So I'm very pleased with the service with American Home Shield. It wasn’t good that I had to have it repaired and that I had to pay the fee but it was a good first experience.

    I had the technician look at a couple of other items but because there was nothing broken on them, he just said that they were working fine, which is good. I called back AHS though because I was concerned about the discrepancy in the name of the business. When I got the information from them, the name of the company was different from the company that came. I googled the phone number and another company name popped up. I addressed that with the repair tech because his shirt says the label of Appliance Tech, which is who American Home Shield told me was coming. But when I wanted to see reviews about them, it was another name.

    I showed him and he said that he didn’t understand why that happened. The other company's name says that it was closed. I called American Home Shield back and asked which company was really coming because this was the one that they were telling me but they're not even listed and then their phone number that they listed for that company told us a different company. It also listed a residential house as the place of business. I have a business and I use my home as my base, and then I go out so people don't come to my house for my business. So, I understand that part but that was a little bit disconcerting because I wasn't sure if it was a legitimate company coming.

    I called American Home Shield back and the guy said that we could add all these other appliances on too and I said okay. Then we added the washer and the dryer, and he kept asking if I wanted to add more things on. I said no but that was weird. Plus, the name of the business not being the same as the other company was kind of a red flag.

    Best Choice was fine. They were here when they said they were gonna be here. They made a quick and decisive diagnosis about the problem. They got all the necessary paperwork back to American Home Shield in a timely manner. I had been without an air conditioner for over a week. There was a technical issue with the compressor and it had some kind of freon leak so the unit had to be replaced. They stayed and worked here until probably 11:30 midnight to get that thing installed so I could get some air back in my house.

    The problem I had was with American Home Shield. It took entirely too long for the process to go through. I live in Southeast Georgia and unfortunately, I've got my 80-something-year-old mother here in the house with me. All those days that I was without an air conditioner were all because of the process. Something should have been expedited. If it was the garbage disposal, fine, take a week, no big deal. But if I'm sitting in a house that's peaking at 90 degrees inside and I've got a 80-something-year-old person in the house, this claim kinda needs to move to the top of the pile. It shouldn't have took that long for them, number one, to approve it. Then after they approved it, it had to go to another department for them to issue the purchasing request to the warehouse where they get it from for that. There should be a 48 to 72-hour cap on it from bang to bullets for something like that.

    The only other problem I had was I asked if I go lease a portable air conditioner so I could put it in the room where my my mother sleeps at to at least keep that room cool. American Home Shield said they don't reimburse for that. Other than that, they've been stellar. A neighbor across the street is about to probably get a contract with them now because I recommended them. I've been with American Home Shield for a while and it's my renewal that's coming up here later this month. I got an email about it and it should automatically renew.

I was sitting at home all day Sunday and it was 80 degrees in the house blowing at 75. So, he came back out yesterday, added some more Freon, washed off the outside unit again and then told me that if it keeps leaking, he's gonna have to replace the evaporator coil.

    The contractor eventually came and replaced the water heater here because it was leaking and that was the cause of all the water in the house. But it's Texas and it's 103 degrees out here right now and it's frustrating to wake up every single night sweating for three weeks because I started calling on the 15th. The AC unit is from the 90’s so the technician was trying to band-aid it the best he could. That was all that they were allowed to do. I'm a homeowner and I bought the warranty to insure this.

It was a lot every time I washed. When the guy from Legacy 4 came out, he fixed the leak and it was all tied into my washing machine. I had one of those splitters for my dishwasher and my washing machine and there was a hole in it. I'm not using my dishwasher anyway, so I told him to take the hose off the splitter and just let it go straight through.

    When he took the hose out, he thought that solved the problem, but there weren't any tests done. My dishwasher and the washing machine were also sharing the same hole for the drain, so he thought that was it. After that, I still had water coming out every time I washed, so he came back out the next day, and that's when he saw something else was going on with the drain. The water was coming right back out. It wasn't draining and he had to use the snake. He fixed that and I had an awesome experience with them. They were right on point.

One company made me pay 960 for freon then this last time, I had to turn around and get that same part.

    I didn't want that other company to come back because I knew they did a horrible job, so I went through another company that American Home Shield referred me to. This time, I had to pay $540 for freon. That's crazy. What if they have older people who can't afford it? I had to even borrow money the first time. Other than that, when I call American Home Shield, they refer me to the people and it's an easy process. They send a technician right out and then if it's something that these companies can do, they fix you right on up. Their turnaround times are good too.

    Sometimes it takes longer for a contractor to come. In December, I was hearing some noise on my sump pump which I didn't think it should be making. It just won’t stop running. I called American Home Shield and a contractor came out. They said there was nothing wrong with the sump pump. I had never had a sump pump before so maybe there was nothing wrong with it. The tech added that sometimes, the back end just got backed.

    Then in March, we had a lot of rain. I was out of town. My sump pump totally went out and my whole basement flooded. That cost me $1,000. I really felt like that time, if the sump pump would have been replaced, fixed, or I was told I needed to replace it, then I could have hired somebody to do that. The sump pump was definitely bad in December because it was just so bad in March. Other than that experience, I haven’t had any problems.

    My experience with American Home Shield has not been great so far. The locksmith that came out was professional and great but he couldn't rekey the house because of a limitation on a commercial lock on the front door. I couldn't get the front door rekeyed. The second service call that I had was because of a leaky pipe. It took two weeks for a plumber to come out. And even when they came out, the pipe is still leaky. That's pretty absurd.

    I had an issue with one of the contractors American Home Shield sent out for my air conditioning system. They said that they didn't see a leak and that I just needed refrigerant. I had that done on my own through a different company and I was right there when their tech came out. When he pushed the unit to see if there was any leak, I could see the refrigerant coming out. I called AHS and asked if it could be my contractor to do the job. AHS gave me money to do the job through my contractor but they wouldn't cover certain things anymore. Still, putting in the claim to them and the timing of their service has always been a good experience.

    Everything was great when the contractors came out recently for our claim with AHS. The problem was a hole in the pipe from the kitchen and it was going down to the front door. The contractor was great. He explained it, did his job, didn't take long to do the job and was very helpful. The service of AHS is beautiful. We have another claim. We noticed the problem with our air conditioner on Saturday morning and we called American Home Shield and they sent somebody out on Monday. He had it working. But he also had said that it might be something going on with the motor. Sure enough, the next day, after we had the air running on Monday, Tuesday, we woke up and it was 80 something degrees in the house.

    So far, I'm waiting for the contractor today to come because they gave the guy the wrong motor. He was beautiful too as far as explaining everything that was going on. They gave him a replacement motor that didn't fit yesterday and he tried his best to make it fit. He was wonderful. He explained everything to my husband. He's worked in the best that he knows how to help us out, so that's what I like.

    I haven't had any problems with AHS. The only thing, it's very hard to get in contact with them. I had a problem with my wall unit as far as my oven and we picked the oven after they told us what was on stock. By the time that I got in contact with them, that was gone and we didn't cover that problem yet. The stovetop, we put our money out 'cause they couldn't find one. But as far as the wall unit, we can't because it's very expensive. They're saying that we have to put 2,000 on our own 'cause they don't have any in stock anymore. We haven't had any luck as far as the wall unit and that's been since May but the stovetop is here. But I've recommended AHS to my son. He has it now and his grandmother has it too. I was overwhelmed with everything that they cover. They also send people out here that know what they're doing.

    I have mixed feelings with Home Shield. Seems like every time I have something go wrong, I pay the $75 and then I'm told that they don't cover that. The first time that happened, a pool filter casing exploded and they said they don't cover that. And then, they tried to say it had more pressure than it should have been in it. I said, "Well, it was 25 years old. What do you expect?"

    This past week, I had to call because the springs in my garage door popped loose. I couldn't close the door. The repair person said, "Oh, that's not covered. That's gonna be $495." I finally got ahold of someone today after calling every single day for eight weeks. I got the documents out to call Home Shield and verify if what I was told was true. They carry the garage door opener but not the garage door. They should be a more clear in exactly what parts are covered and what parts are not. I subsequently spoke to the salesperson at a Realtor meeting and she said, "Oh, yes, they should have covered that." My wife was dying of cancer and I couldn't be bothered to chase stuff down. That's why I kept the bill for the door.

    With our dishwasher, it was supposed to be a good one that went out. I told Home Shield I wanted a stainless steel one and they said, "Well, we can't get you. We have to replace like-for-like," which is fine. They told me they would cash me out of the old one. I went to Home Depot and found the stainless steel one that was cheaper and just as good as the other one.

    I've had all kinds of problems with American Home Shield and I’ve thought about canceling the policy on a couple of accounts. I moved into my house about a month and a half ago and I had a plumbing problem. The toilet overflowed and it clogged up. I called up AHS and I said that at first it was the toilet. It was the valve. Then I called up because they were delayed in getting anyone out here and a friend had helped me diagnose it as the main drain. So, they were supposed to change that label from toilet to valve to drain. The contractor came and snaked it from the yard to the house, and it seemed like it fixed the problem. A week later, my house got flooded and ruined the carpeting in my bedroom. I had to tear it out as well as the mat and the padding, and throw it in the yard because it was so disgusting.

    The guy came again and this time, he snaked it from the toilet to the yard. I thought it was good to go and he took off, except when he put the toilet back on, it was wobbling. But I didn't even call or deal with it because a day after I discovered that, it flooded again. So I was freaking at that point. I had to have a septic tank guy come out here and take a look at the situation. It was an expensive repair and it was not covered by the warranty. After the dust settled with the septic tank, at 4 o'clock in the morning I called up AHS because otherwise you're on hold for an hour. But I was still on hold for 45 minutes. Alicia, the rep, was very helpful and she managed to get the guy to come back to reset the toilet.

    The first time I called and made the complaint, it took four hours. It was the Fourth of July weekend. It's always like a Friday at 5 o'clock, for some reason, when this stuff happens. Then, the second time I called, I had to acquiesce to the fact that I had to say that it wasn't a problem. I had to pay an extra service fee to get the guy out here at Friday at 5 o'clock, as opposed to fighting with them. I had the the plumber at my house and he said that he can't come over unless he gets paid. They haven't been paying him. I even have text messages from the plumber saying that he was not gonna come over unless he was guaranteed that he was gonna get paid.

    I got on the phone with the insurance people and I had to change the claim in order to get him to show up. I had to pay the $84 so he would get paid and to get it rectified. So, the guy was here today and he looked at the toilet. He said it was broken, he couldn't fix it and it needs to be replaced. I'm assuming that it probably got broken when the guy took off the toilet to snake it the second or the third time he was here. For some reason, he didn't come back to do the repair and they had to pawn it off on that company today.

    The guy who came out today was the one who came out on my first service call for my garbage disposal. He thought that AHS was gonna replace it. I said that I looked at the computer and they said that they resolved it. They said it was an existing condition and they voided me out, which was nonsense because it passed inspection. It was fine then. It just started to leak afterwards and AHS wrote it off as preexisting condition. I bought a garbage disposal and put it in myself. He brought it up today and I said that that was how AHS did me. So, I’m not very happy with that.

    The guy took a look and took pictures. He called to see if he could show up a little early and that was fine. So, there were no issues. But I have great disdain for AHS. There is a market research that would prove that if they could turn me into a happy advocate, I would be their best customer for life. But as it is right now, I'm very dissatisfied.

    I had to close our door manually because it wasn't closing. The contractors that came replaced the sensors. It is an old door, so the spring needs lubrication. They took care of it and it has been working perfectly since I got the service. Submitting claims to AHS is not a problem because I can always do that via the internet. The difficulty is finding the time that they can come on my schedule usually, 'cause I have two jobs and I'm hardly ever home. My sister that lives with me is disabled, so she cannot attend to whoever is gonna come. So if a claim, if they wanna say next week, it may not work for me. It will be the following week or sometimes I had to put it off after three weeks when I have a day off. But the scheduling is pretty much my fault, not theirs.

    After a certain number of requests on an item, AHS should consider replacing it. I had that for my washer and that one was four years ago. It took them forever to replace it, like almost five weeks. I had to go and get my laundry serviced at a public laundry place. Because first, the parts were not available 'cause it was an old part, and then they tried something else. I was very unhappy back then, but I just gave them another try. But, I had the same situation with my refrigerator. All my food went bad because my refrigerator was leaking water.

    The AC provider based in Springtown did a terrible job. They didn't want anything to do with us and they only gave a quote for a total replacement price that was over $7,000. They didn't attempt to fix it at all. The guy was on the phone for a long period of time. He was trying to figure out an excuse not to repair the unit and. It was obvious that he didn't know what he was doing. I would highly recommend that American Home Shield blackball them from any future service. They clearly didn't wanna have anything to do with it.

    Our unit is old but I’ve changed the filters religiously on my end because of the fact that it's gonna be 106 here in Texas. But it was implicated that we had misused, abused and we didn't maintain the unit. So we turned around right away and ordered another maintenance call. I was on hold with customer service for almost an hour. I understand it's seasonal and everybody wants their air conditioning fixed, but they should be able to anticipate that.

    We've been AHS customers for over 40 years and we've never had to lick the problem until this last go around. But on the second maintenance call, the guy from Air Technical had the unit up and running within 30 minutes. He also had to come back out and put in a solenoid, but there was no loss of Freon. It has been working fine ever since. This guy was very professional, quick and knowledgeable.

    We sent in a letter to American Home Shield because I thought it was important to have something on file. The unit is 20 something years old and it’s probably gonna have more issues in the years to come. Those little vents were bent up a little bit but it was just cosmetic. We had one unit replaced a few years ago. Outside of our out of pocket for it, the unit has been working fine. But I'm a little apprehensive about our next claim for the other AC. I don't want American Home Shield to point out the fact that somebody has said that our equipment was not maintained properly because that was not the case.

    Original Review: July 31, 2020

    My wife and I were gone away from home. We were working in South Carolina for 17 months. Then we came home and then that was when the toilet started acting up. When the contractors put the new one in, when we'd flush it, water would still come out onto the floor from underneath. So the contractor had to come back and put another wax ring in. He said sometimes, the way the floor is, they have to add an extra wax ring.

    Submitting the claim was hard. I called the contractor first. They told me I had to call American Home Shield for them to come and fix it. After they got paid by me and by AHS, I shouldn't have to call them back and have AHS resubmit a claim to have them come back out a second time. That was a bad system right there. That was putting too many people involved in something that could have been fixed between me calling the contractor and him coming out. But the contractor that came was a great guy. Everything's also good with the toilet now.

    My ice maker froze up and Home Shield sent out SG Appliance. The icemaker required a part, which is usually a two-week process with Home Shield now. Nobody carries parts anymore and nobody is allowed to get parts locally. I am now in the mindset, and as I consider my renewal, that any call to Home Shield is gonna be a minimum of two weeks for repair. That has been my experience for about two years now.

    This is my 2nd year with AHS. The first year they were very responsive and easy to work with. Some of the contractors that they worked with were just OK. But my overall experience with AHS was good. Into my 2nd year, I am so disappointed with the service. I need a new refrigerator and I cannot get a hold of the appliance purchasing department to tell me what my options are. I can get a hold of someone on the main line to tell me that they approved the new refrigerator but they tell me I have to work with the appliance purchasing department to discuss my options and ultimately get a new fridge.

    One day, I waiting on hold on the phone for 4 hours and then it disconnected. I called back and waited another 3 hours. I am not kidding. I have done this now for almost a week and I cannot get anyone to pick up the phone. I have sent an email using their template. I have reached out on Facebook. Nothing. I called the contractor who told AHS that the part that was broken could not be replaced and that I needed a new fridge and he said that they are having a really hard time getting a hold of AHS as well. I will not be renewing next year. Your time is worth money. Who has hours to wait on the phone?

    I began the claims process for a malfunctioning Washer, one month ago. The contractor came within the week and determined that the Washer had to be replaced- not repaired. He submitted the paperwork to AHS on the next business day. AHS never contacted me to initiate the replacement process- I had to contact them. I called 4 times, waited on hold 1+ hours. I still do not have my replacement Washer, at one month. When I call AHS now, I wait on hold 2+ hours and then their line disconnects the caller. Still no Washer. The shipping company (JB Hunt) says that AHS still has not even sent them my order- which once they receive it will take them 7-10 business days to Even contact me to schedule a delivery date.

    My AC went out. AHS could not find contractor to come to my town. Weather was 102-107 at this time. AHS had me find my own contractor. Now won't reimburse me my out of pocket for unit replacement. Having to file claim with American Arbitration Association to recoup cost.

    As per American Home Shield contract I made a request in June 2020 for a in home service request for my kitchen oven and refrigerator. AH Shield had sent an email to confirm appointment by Prudent Mechanical on July 8th 2020. But Prudent mechanical never called about the appointment or never showed up for the service. I tried to reach their help desk and all in vain. Today morning (July30, 2020) I received an email from American Home Shield to participate in the survey to compliment the service experience from Prudent Mechanical from Baltimore, MD. I had been trying to be in touch with American Home Shield from that day onwards and they never pick up the line or I had to be on the phone holding for more than an hour and got automatically disconnected. This is highly unethical according to the contract from American Home Shield.
